About the Blog


This is a running record of the work Jason and Lena are doing to bring a 1978 VW Bus back to life. She was very close to death's door when we bought her.

We now have a functional vacationmobile that we are taking on adventures. So, this blog has morphed into a travelogue sprinkled with our break-down stories and latest upgrades. Hopefully more of the latter!

Look back in the archive for ALL the work we did to get her where she is today.

Enjoy :)

Oh boy, it's starting to look like a van!

I must apologize for not posting while some much has been happening.  That is the reason why I haven't posted though - I've been so busy!

Check out the progress on our girl:

Smile! 
The nose is getting all the bits put back in, washers, wiring, duct work.  Note the floor -still just paint
Engine bay also getting wired up
Insulation too - Sound deadener under the upper cover

Heat and Noise Reducer (ceramic paint) laid down
Here too!
Then truck bed liner went down after (note that the seat belts are in -safety first!)
My window is in!!!  Pop top on too
Zoom in on this , eh!
Some interior installed (lots of sound deadener and insulation under the panels)
Looking cozy
It is starting to look like something (Canvas still needs to be anchored to the van roof)
The push is on now.  See ya soon!
